About Me

Hello everyone! My name is Ms. Moore! I teach 9th academic and 10th honors English. I graduated from Radford University with a Bachelors degree in English with a concentration in secondary education. My dream is to one day teach in another country, but until then I enjoy taking language classes, hiking, art, video games, and watching Netflix. I look forward to a fun and successful year!

Course Expectations

9th Academic Grade: In 9th grade, we will be reading and analyzing famous literature, practicing vocabulary, grammar, writing, and identifying word segments. Students will learn along the guidelines of the 2010 Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLS).

10th Honors Grade: In 10th grade honors, we will focus on British literature, composition, grammar, and vocabulary. English 10 Honors is designed to prepare students for either AP Language or English 11 Honors. The Virginia standards of learning are available online for more information. Students receive a .5 GPA bump for taking an Honors course. Therefore, students will also complete an essay based on a “Big Question,” which is a student-selected question based on a larger, thematic idea covered in British literature.

This teacher uses: Google Classroom (codes are for STUDENT use only. A invite for parents can be sent once students are in the class.)
